cd and indomitablo spirits of the South,
combining, in that diitant region, under
the influences of terrible dcspair,may still
prolong the contest and lengthen the re
cord of bloodshed and 'destruction. But
aline from tho Executivo pen can avert
that misfortune. Evory threat of punish
ment, every indication of a stern and nn
compromising temper on tho part of tbo
victors, will bo ail inoentive to resistance,
even after hopo is gone.
Tho Chief of tho Confederacy is a cap
tive, powcrlass in the hands of thoso who
allega that be has been tho soul of secess
ion and the master spirit of resistance to
Federal authority. It has been intimated
that, in .the event of his capture, no mer
cy will b6' accorded to him. Tho most
bitter, let us hope tho most unreflecting,
of his enemies point to tbo soaffold and
clamor for a victim to be sacrificed to
their relentless hate. If wo knew not the
noble and manly attributes that, though
often hiddon by passion and exaltation, are
inseparable from the American character,
wo should 8sy that Jefferson Davis is- a
doomed man.- But, knowing our coun
trymon, wo believe that their fallen foe
will reccivo, at their hands, tbo boon of
life. . Not that we think ho will ask
for it. Ho is one of those rare types
of humanity born to control destiny, or to
accept, without mnrmur, annhiliation as
the natural consequence of failure. Tho
political shrino that he -worshipped is over
thrown,, the star of bis fortunes is so dim
that not a ray lingers upon his path,thrre
is nothing for him to live for, except be a
living proof of tho magnanimity and man
hood of his enemies-
But thafh a sufficient reason why he
shall not die upon tho scaffold. It is

A,. Curious Old Document.
Wo congratulate our neighbors of the
Tribune on the discovery of tha curious
old document referred to in the following
article We havo had a copy of it for
many years, and have boon m tho habit of
making frequent referenco to it. We
could Havo lent our contemporary a copy
any time within four years past, but un
derstood tbey did not want it. In point
of fact wo wero substantially told by a no
torious Senator that any man who referred
to jt was a traitor. It is sinoerely gratify
ing to learn that a copy has turned up
whero it may bo useful. Soriously, it is to
be hoped that tho wiso words of tbo Trib
une may attract attontion and win that ro
spect to the Constitution which-thoy do
mand. From the Tribune, May llfA.
SECRET MILITARY TRIALS'.
There is a curious old document in ex
istence, known as the Constitution of tho
United States, which formerly had tbo
foroo and effect of law in that large portion
of our country not specially dominatod by
the Slave Power. Under' the ruin of our
present Cabinet, it seems to have gone out
of fashion ; and,atrtca Mr. Stanton's ac
testion to the control 0 (he War Depart-1
went, tt has became practically obmlela.
Loyal oitizeos did not much mind tbis

We havo mado our citations full, not
merely in deference to tho apparent inac
cessibility of the dooument at Washing
ton, but because we wished every reader
to see that the passages wo havo placod
in Ilalics'aro not garbled nor picked, but
they aro of the cssoneo and vitality of tho
Constitution itself. Heing so, how can we
justify, or excuse, or even keep silonco
with regard to tho military trials just
initiated at Washington ? A miscreant,
acting in concert with other assassins, has
attempted the lifo of the Secretary of
Slate, and, though hia purpose was de
feated.Nio nevertheless severely wounded
Gov. Seward, his oldest son, and two or
threo others trho nobly rcdi9ted him. Of
course, this villain and his confederate
should bo sternly dealt with ; but why
not according to law I What reason,
what excuse, oan bo urged, to justify tha
sending of this case before a oourt martial
and having it tried in Btcret ? now can
such a trial be reconciled with the plain
provisions of tho Conititution above quo
ted I
As to tho military trial of those who
conspired with Booth to assassinato the
President, and aided to aehievo that fell
purposo, tho outrage is not quito so fla
grant ; but such trial is at best a blunder,
while enshrouding if in secrecy is utterly
indefensible. To try a doctor for his life
because ho set a stranger's broken bono,
and gave, or sold, or lent him a pair of
crutches, may just do; but to try him in
sooret, allowing no report of tho testimony
butsuoh as the prosecution sees fit to make,
iB nothing less than abominable. Two

Wo direct the attontion of Dr. John, to

ant made an unnrovoked attack, in ono of
the streets in Philadelphia, upon Edward
Ingersoll, E.q., a private citizen, who, it
wonld seem, had made himBelf obnoxious
to some of tho extreme loyal inhabitants of
that city, by a ip'eeuh in opposition to tho
policy of tho Administration, which ho
mado at a publio meeting in New York on
the 13th of April. Mr. Ingersoll drew a
pistol; to defend himself against his as
sailant, when he was instantly arrested, and
taken to a Police Station. Dis brother
Charles, on hearing of the arrest, attempt
ed to go to tho Police Ofiico to bail him
out, but waa attackod in his carriage by c
gong of ruffians, and beaten. 8evera'
gentleman stood by when the first attack
was made, and instead of endeavoring as
was tho duty of good" oitizons, to presorvo
the peace, countenanced the outrago with
approving words. Mr. Ingersoll was de
tained in the Station Ilonao sovcral hours,
and was finally released, by tho intorven
tion of tho venerable Joseph R. Ingevoll
(his uncle, wo believe) onea a leading
momber of the old whig prty who was
allowed by tho mob to approach tho place
of imprisonment unmolested, and enter
bail for tho appoaranoo of his nephew.
Tho Republican papers of Philadelphia
have indirectly justified theso assaults, by
violent denunciations of the political opin
ions of lho Ingcrsolls ; and to oompletcly
has the spirit of terrorism gained the as
cendency that a Demooratio journal daro
not condemn tho acts of tho mob, except
at tbo hazzard of its own destruction. ,
Is it not high timo that law-abiding eit
izsns of both parties should awako to the
necessity of curbing this dangerous spirit
of insubordination, now so prevalent all
over the land ? Have wo not had enough
of it to show ui of how little valuo our lib
erty, our property and our lives will bo, if
tb'n lowlessness is not che eked ? To what
elso must wo charge tho murder of Mr
Lincoln; tho daubing tho houvo of Mr.
Fillmore with ink; aud even the rebellion
itself, but to that spirit of intolcrauoo of
opinion, restlessness under authority, and
dofianco of law whioh is all too prevalent
to theso latter days. What aro our boast
cd constitutional guarantees of freedom of
specoh and of tbo press worth, if tboir law
ful exercise is to bo restrained by the in
timidations of an unreasoning, irreaponsi
bio, tyrannous mob I It has been, hereto
foro, our boast, as a freo pcoplo, that we

At Cumberlandvillo Col. Hardin met
Col, Pritchard with 100 picked mon aud

riving thcro at midnight of tho Oth. Jeff.
Davis had not arrived.
From oitizons Pritehard learned that hia

mart in tho South. Wo aro heartily glad
they aro to bo hut up The people will
never desiro to see thora re-opened,
Lancaster Intelligencer.
An Army of 160,000 Men to be
Maintained.
It is said, in Washington ciroles, that
tho army is only to bo reduced to four
ourps of '10,01)0 men each, and that two
of tho corps are to be negroes- That
would leavo the country burthencd with
a stan'ding army of 80,000 whilo soldiers,
and 60,000 negroes. It is estimated that
every soldier costs the Government 1,000
per annum to maintnin him. Not in de
preciated currency but at gold rates. To
maintain an army of 100,000 men would
involve, therefore, an annual expenditure!
of one hundred uml sixty million dollars'
ii gotu.
Is there any reason why tho people
should be expected to continue to bear
suoh an enormous burthen! Wo do not
believe thero is need of one-fourth of the
proposed army. A wise and conciliatory
policy would bring ovcry Southern State
into the Union within le.-s- than throe
months, aud so firmly establish ull rela
tions betweon thun and the Federal Gov
ernment that we should not need any lar
ger army than wo had bofore the rebellion
began. To carry out tho grand schemes
of tho radical fanatics, who aro raving
. about oxteuded punishment' and sweeping
uouuscaiioii, wumu ucuuiaitatu me employ
ment of largo and expensivo armies ; but
tho government cannot possibly derive
anything but detriment from suoh a course.
We hope President Johnson will adobt
such a policy as will cuable him to reduce
tho army to tho old peace standard before
fall, He oan do so if ho will. Whether
this is dono or not, wo hopo no portion of
tho permanent standing army of tho coun
try may ever be negroes.- The people will
not caro to have to sustain an army of no
gro troopa with whom thoy oan havo no
sympathy. Lancaster Intelligencer,
